NBA Special Report: Is Chris Paul still the best point Guard with emerging talents like Rondo & Rose
Chris Paul is without any doubt one of the best points who have come across the NBA for quite some time. Some experts say that this player is the best in the history of the NBA. Last season saw him being sidelined for most of the season due the fact that he was injured, as a result, declining his reputation as being the best in the business. Following his disappearance due to injuries, people started to wonder whether there are other point guards who might be better than Chris Paul. In this article, we will discuss who the best point guard in the league is by rating them and giving them points out of 10.
Rajon Rondo
To begin with, we have the Celtics Rajon Rondo who has been able to cement his position as one the most prominent point guards in the NBA after the performances that he put up during the past season NBA playoffs. Some experts said that this player was one of the weakest links in the Celtics team but by performances that he bagged during the last season have crushed all such speculations and now according to reports, he is said to be the strongest link in the Celtics line-up. Rondo possesses some of the best techniques that are required for a player to be among the best in the league that being quickness and athleticism. Last season saw him use all these abilities to the fullest that not only helped him proving all his critics wrong but also enabling him to be widely known as one of the important elements in the Celtics side that helped them crawl their way into the Finals.
Added to this is the fact of him being a terrific passer that benefits the team and other players who are able to come into scoring positions. Experts give this talented player a score of 7.5/10 that effectively puts him in the 5th position in the list of best point guards of the NBA. Experts also add to this saying that this player is still 24 years old and still has a good couple of seasons on his way but all he needs to do is to improve on the performances every time and then success would come to him with ease.
Derrick Rose
Another big powerhouse of the NBA comes in the 4th position with his giant frame, Derrick Rose. Being one of the better point guards of the league, Rose lacked assistance last season. This season may well be a productive one for this immensely talented player due to the addition of Carlos Boozer, who would be looking to assist him in every possible way and guide the Bulls and this player to some glory. However, this player is extremely talented and a good scorer but the thing that goes against him is that sometimes this player puts too much on his own shoulders. This results in him not passing the ball which then hurts the team score and the ultimately resulting in defeat for the team. Experts say that Rose is without a doubt one of the best players that the league has seen and he is still young and has a bright future.
Experts not only say that this player has a lot to offer to his team but say that he has a lot of achievements coming his way, only if he has some or little assistance from another player who could manage to match the speed and passing of this extremely quick player. Now that Carlos Boozer is added to the squad, the Bulls will be hoping that he was the missing link that Derrick Rose required to move on the next level of his game and push the Bulls. Not only further but also give them a chance to compete in the Eastern Conference but also for the NBA title this upcoming season.
